Printing Options

Libraries and Labs
To print a file from a desktop computer in the libraries and labs, go to the print command or dialogue box (in a Word or Google Doc, for example, you’d select “File > Print”) and then select the option “Print to Pharos.” The print job will be sent to and held in the Pharos database until you log in to a Pharos workstation and opt to print or delete the job (unprinted jobs are automatically deleted after 10 hours). 

Email
Save the document locally on your own computer or a University desktop and then email the document as an attachment to [email protected]  (file not to exceed 50 MB in size). Print at any print station.

Website
Save the file locally and upload it to the Pharos Remote Print portal. Printing options are available there. Print at any print station.

App
Get the “Pharos Print” app for IOS/Android. Log in using your Fordham username and password or register as a guest. Print at any print station.

Best practices for using Pharos

• Print requests must come from your Fordham email address or a guest Pharos account.
• The following types of file formats can be printed by Pharos: Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, Images, Text (CSV, RTF, and TXT), and Visio.
• Email your document as an attachment (not to exceed 50MB in size).
• More than one attachment may be sent in a single email.
• Logos, signatures, and pictures will print on separate pages. These items should be deleted prior to printing.
• Black and white is the default print setting. Request color and double-sided printing at the Pharos Print portal.
• Files may take a few minutes to appear in the print database after being uploaded or emailed.
• Are you printing from Google drive? Download the file and open it in a non-browser program such as Word or Adobe Reader. You can't print by sharing [email protected] via your Google Drive.
